Since 2016 we running Northolt Islamic Centre 159-161 Church Road, Northolt UB5 5AG near the Target Roundabout of A40 as a small musallah in a rented place. In 2019, we bought a building by raising funds through donations and Qarde Hasanah.
Alhamdulillah, we got planning permission for Masjid and building work has been started to convert the ground floor into Masjid. Contractors promised to complete the project before Ramadan but then Covid 19 situation emerged and started affecting everyone.
As with all other places of worship our centre is also closed since March 20, however, building works are still ongoing as per schedule to complete all works before Ramadan. Right now 80% works are complete and we desperately need funds to pay off construction bills. We urgently required £100k to pay construction bills and the old Qarde Hashanah and the closures of places of worship have affected us badly in terms of our planning to raise funds to pay builders to complete the job and to return the Qarde Hasanah as per promises made to individuals. I know it’s very difficult for everyone and many of us facing hardships in our business, but I will still beg you and urge you to dig deep in your pockets and contribute to this noble cause to complete this project.
